{"product_id":"2940012530691","title":"How To Get On In The World; Or, A Ladder To Practical Success","description":"The old saying, \"Marry in haste and repent at leisure,\" will never lose its force. Worse than the man whose selfishness keeps him a bachelor till death, is the young man, who, under an impulse he imagines to be an undying love, marries a girl as poor, weak, and selfish as himself. -from \"Chapter VII: As to Marriage\" Subtitled A Ladder to Practical Success, this little book is chock full of handy advice for a young man looking to make his way in the world... or at least in the world of 1895, when it was first published. Calhoun's guidance encompasses: .the importance of correct habits .the value of experience .selecting a calling .some of labor's compensations .patience and perseverance .and more. While some of its core counsel is timeless, this quaint work is a charming look back at a society that no longer exists.","brand":"Del Williams Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081467347184,"sku":"2940012530691","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012530691_p0.jpg?v=1763569870","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012530691","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
